The Chiefs and Seahawks are both coming off tough division losses last week. Kansas City still controls its own destiny for a post-season bye, while Seattle is fighting for a Wild Card berth. The betting line has the Chiefs as a slight road favorite with the total 53.5.
This is a big game for both teams. The Chiefs are coming off a loss as well after blowing a fourth quarter lead to the Chargers Thursday night. Kansas City has been a strong road team this season, going 5-2 SU and 5-1-1 ATS away from home. Although, after opening the season covering eight straight, the Chiefs are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games.
The Seahawks were rolling before getting tripped up in San Francisco. The loss ended a four-game winning streaks for Seattle where they went 3-0-1 ATS. The Seahawks have lost two home games already this season to the Chargers and Rams but are 4-2 SU and 4-1-1 ATS overall.
The Seahawks have two things going for them in this matchup: They're underdogs and playing in primetime. Seattle is 18-5 ATS as a home underdog since December 2008. The Seahawks are 24-6-4 ATS in their last 34 night games.
Think the Seahawks don't like night games? Check this these records:
Night games at home: 15-3-3 ATS
Night games as an underdog: 10-2 ATS
Night games as a home underdog: 5-1 ATS
Night games in December: 9-0 ATS
The Chiefs better be ready to play on Sunday night because history says the Seahawks will.

## Chiefs at Seahawks betting lines
__Point Spread:__ Chiefs -2.5
__Total:__ 53.5
__Line movement:__ This line has moved quite a bit at the Westgate after the Seahawks were upset by the 49ers. Seattle opened as a 1-point favorite last week but the line moved to the Chiefs -2.5 on Sunday. FanDuel had the Chiefs -1 in its early lines, so the jump to 2.5 isn't as significant there.
## Chiefs betting overview
__SU record:__ 11-3
__ATS record:__ 8-5-1
__O/U record:__ 9-4-1
The Chiefs have broken the 300 yard mark through the air 10 times already this season. In one of the games that Kansas City fell short of the mark, the team threw for 295 yards. Patrick Mahomes is 346 of 516 passing for 4,543 yards with 45 touchdowns against 11 interceptions this season. Mahomes hasn't thrown for fewer than 243 yards in a game this season. Two of the three lowest passing yardage totals for Mahomes came against the Chargers. He was held to 256 yards in week 1 and just 243 yards last week.
The Seahawks have given up six 300 yard games through the air this season. Two of those games were against the high-powered Rams and a third against the Packers. The Chiefs are another high-powered offense, which doesn't bode well for Seattle.
The Seahawks' pass defense has been better of late though, allowing just one 300 yard passing game in the past month. That came against San Francisco’s Nick Mullens who threw for 414 in a 43-16 Seattle win. The Seahawks have 36 sacks, 56 pass defenses and 12 interceptions on the year.
## Seahawks betting overview
__SU record:__ 8-6
__ATS record:__ 8-4-2
__O/U record:__ 7-7
In an era of pass-happy NFL teams, the Seahawks have found success running the ball. They lead the NFL with an average of 154.9 yards per game. Seattle has rushed the ball more than it has passed (457 rushes, 377 passes), and has done it without a 1,000-yard rusher to this point.
Chris Carson has 913 yards in 201 attempts (4.5 yards per attempt), while Mike Davis has 439 yards (4.5 ypa) and Rashaad Penny has 413 yards (5.1 ypa).
The improved rushing attack has helped Russell Wilson, especially in the red zone.
He ranks third in red zone touchdowns with 22 on only 57 attempts. Drew Brees ranks just behind Wilson with 21 touchdowns and he has a whopping 89 attempts. Wilson is throwing the ball a lot less this year but he's been extremely efficient.
The Seahawks ground game should continue to have success against the Kansas City's 26th ranked rush defense. The Chiefs have the 32nd ranked run defense in the NFL by DVOA and are 32nd in yards per carry allowed. Overall, opposing teams have rushed for 1,777 yards and 17 touchdowns on 5.0 yards per carry against Kansas City.
